#28) Listen Up

March 2, 2017

Dear Mr. President,

So here's an interesting news item that kind of slipped under the radar – George W. Bush gave a TV interview (very rare) and said that a free press was, "indispensible to democracy."  Huh, go figure.  He also said, "Power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive and it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power."  Whoever could he be talking about I wonder (hint, hint).

You know, as President of the United States you are a member of a very elite club.  When your fellow club members offer you insight and feedback, especially when they're from your own political party, you really should listen to them.  Very few people have stood where you stand now, and President Bush certainly faced his share of criticism, so I think he knows of what he speaks. I would listen very closely to what he has to say.

Sincerely,

Amy Beaton
